doesnt matter if its printable or not, im just doing a sort of Caesar cipher type thing for example code. as long as i can cast the into to the right Unicode char and be able to compare one unicode char to another it should be enough

most people mean "grapheme" when they say "character"... e.g., how many characters would you say are in a unicode string encoding one Latin capital letter "A", and one combining-accent like "´"

I'm claiming that given an identical set of methods in Elixir and Ruby, which take exactly the same arguments in the same order (where the first arg in Elixir == the receiver in Ruby), Ruby's "." and Elixir's "|>" perform exactly the same operation

I mean.. maybe it is. Maybe supporting `a |> b.c(d)` as a fancy spelling for `c(b, a, d)` is interesting/necessary, despite Elixir not having a spelling for that argument mixture, *because* of Ruby's established argument-placement precedents.

Hello everyone, I am looking to interact with an interactive script (certbot using the manual plugin, which asks questions along the way). What would be the easiest way to start that script in a Ruby script and send it user input programatically? Something from Open3, PTY, some expect library?

garyserj: irb is "interactive ruby", it is part of ruby. You can run ruby code and see results immediately. it's useful for testing code. Also see ?pry, a gem which is a popular alternative to irb.
